"Sister Wives"

Corissa and I at dinner at Gordon Biersch.  Some dang good garlic fries.

The title of this post just makes me laugh. We call ourselves that just to be silly. So here are photos of a recent "retreat" that we took to Scottsdale. This funny group of ladies get together to watch "The Bachelor" late Monday nights. I just started going and find it quite entertaining. NOT the show...but the company.

 

Shelly and myself...taking a break from shopping for junk food.

 What is a girl's night without TONS of junk food!!!

 

 Okay these pics need some explaining.  Someone suggested blowing our lips together...like buzzing them and taking pictures.  We laughed so hard.  I had to take a bathroom break...just because it was soooo funny!!

Trying to get a group shot!

 Anyway, we mostly just ate, and laughed and ate some more.  Then we sat around like in the below pic and enjoyed being together.  I had a great time and I feel so lucky to have wonderful women in my life!

  

The next morning we went and got breakfast at "Crackers." It was my first time and it was so delish!  Thanks Jake for watching the kids (I think they went bowling) while I was away.  Thanks for having me my sweet Sister Wives! 

School Pictures and other stuff.

 I am one of those people who feels no shame in my NOT buying school pictures.  Sometimes I think I am the only mother on the planet who doesn't buy...but I will admit that I don't.  I have never and will never buy them.  I am just too cheap and practical. So the morning of school pics...I just took the kids outside and got a shot quick before school. 

I figure I take enough pictures of them...they will never have to be angry that I didn't buy them their school pics.  At least I hope so.  They are cute kids.  I will give you that.

Here is his school pic.  He is so handsome. 

The new paint color is supposed to be grey...it turned out more blue.  I like the new pots.  That is about it so far.  Blah.  What was I thinking???
